Each month our congregation members, neighbors, and friends of all ages gather at church for a light breakfast or snack, then head out in carpools into the greater community to work together. Most of these opportunities involve an investment of 3 to 4 hours, but the rewards are SO great!! All are welcome to be part of the Service Saturday team.
SERVICE SATURDAYS 2010-2011
Love Thy Neighbor
When Jesus was asked by a lawyer “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus responded with the story of the Good Samaritan. And he ended the story by saying “Go and do likewise.”

Saturday, October 16 — Greater Philadelphia Cares Day
We will re-visit a program we participated in twice some years ago, volunteering in any one of a variety of projects in 100+ schools and various neighborhoods throughout the city. We might help paint school hallways or classrooms, organize a library, or help beautify a neighborhood by creating gardens or cleaning up playgrounds.
We have committed a team of volunteers from CLC – we don’t have our exact assignment yet but watch Pews News and the Narthex bulletin board for more details. Plan to join the team!
You can either sign-up on the poster in the Narthex,
